I’m not a rookie and I understand all that jazz. I’m sticking to my point, no reason to do hills 3 times a week. If you look at Derek’s 10 day taper graphs you can see he’s during the samething I mention above. I guess athletes who don’t do hills 3 times a week are doing it wrong - maybe you should warn John Smith and Lance about this breaking news.

Hills every day in the beginning allow the athlete to maintain solid acceleration form while reducing the eccentric stress of the stride, which is a good thing in the beginning of the year. However, I think the transition to flat accels can occur quickly and you provide a solid recommendation for a mid-gpp accel week.
